teach and admonish in all wisdom
Now it gets uncomfortable, this Colossian Challenge of ours! The
community members are expected to teach one another, admonish one
another, which sounds more authoritative than most church members like
(unless they're willing to "teach" Sunday School, and even then very
self-deprecatingly). But it's what makes a community a community, that
we can share our knowledge as well as our ignorance with one another.
And it has to be done "in all wisdom". We humbly pretend to be so
unwilling to share our wisdom, while acting arrogantly in all sorts of
other life areas. Yet god has gifted every one of us for building up
one another in our community. What's your gift for teaching,
admonishing, or wisdom? and how are you using it, wisely?
